Lack of clear comms, I guess? And not by accident: intentional, driven by the fear that if people were told exactly what was going on, and what the plan was, they'd get the wrong idea, panic, and interfere with the plan. That's how it's been from the start.The local moving average weekly infection rate rose again today but by less than 10% compared to yesterday. The strength of the hotspots does seem to be getting larger relative to the average as lockdown conditions ease with only vaccinations and no effective track and trace to handle the outbreaks. Chatted to my next door but one neighbour this morning (retired living alone) when she was out walking her dog. Didn't know her town had had the highest covid infection rate in the country and rising for the last 5 days or so. Had seen the mobile testing lab in the park but did not recognise the significance. It illustrates something about the way we live and are currently handling this epidemic but I am not sure quite what.
Report from India of people become infected after full vaccination (fortunately not too seriously in the highlighted case but enough to be hospitalised). They have only covered 3% of the population so such cases will be a small fraction by definition.

2 657 cases today (about level with last week), 11 deaths, 76 and 79 admissions (to the 11th)
If you zoom into the updated map there's quite a number of blue areas (100-200 per 100k), with high rates where the Indian variant has been found.

This sounded very encouraging but it seems that it’s a local team taking matters into their own hands:Tweet from BBC Radio Lancashire: “People aged 18 and over in three wards in #Blackburn can now book an appointment for a Pfizer jab online.
“It's after the Indian variant was found in Shear Brow and Corporation Park, Billinge and Beardwood aswell as Bastwell and Daisyfield.”
Good move.

Every proposed date of relaxation was subject to a review at that time. Giving a guarantee was never possible, so not sure if this is newsworthy or not.Immediately followed in your rolling news link by a govt minister refusing to guarantee that the country will fully reopen on June 21.

I know they’re following an age-based approach, but it does make sense to prioritise vaccinations in certain areas where infections are higher and amongst age groups which are largely driving the surges.Mystery. Presumably if you surge vaccinate you need more vaccines. It's not a matter of vaccinating teenagers at the expense of older people in the same neighbourhood. How will Blackburn get extra vaccines if it's not supported by Westminster? If they're not getting additional vaccines then NHS is right to be concerned, to say the least.

Good question, and I’ve no idea. I do know they’ve stockpiled an absolute tonne of vaccines so if it’s nationally co-ordinated that shouldn’t be a problem.Mystery.

That seems right.
Now being denied and not going to happen after all.Tweet from BBC Radio Lancashire: “People aged 18 and over in three wards in #Blackburn can now book an appointment for a Pfizer jab online.
